Re: Corey Feldman Says he Plans to Name Pedophiles in Hollywood
I find this atmosphere of 'just finding out' and/or 'finally finding out' the pervasiveness of so many perverts and sell-out wannabes in Hollywood very disingenuous.
IT'S BEEN THE RULE NOT THE EXCEPTION ALL ALONG!!
By the way, I have first hand experience from spending my 18-24th year in the thick of Hollywood. I shot to the top of my field (radio/audio production) purely from a lot of right place right time opportunity and ability to hold my own, but sure got exposed to the underbelly and denizens before and during success. Talk about a swamp. By 24 I walked away from a well underway career because I couldn't stomach that the price of success was having to be surrounded by those people for the rest of my life.
I bet there are hardly NO kid/teen/female/boy actors you've ever seen on the screen that didn't pay some sexual price at some time in their wannabe days to get their career starts. All the exposes you can find from the 30's thru now were always just the tip of the iceberg.
Hollywood is a vile, deviant, ego and pervert mecca and always has been.
Nearly everybody there either does it, did it, had it done to them or all three.
Everybody knows who is who and who has done/is doing what. But they turn a blind eye, still work with each other, cover for each other and it's known that's it's just the way it is.
To some degree however, I have a hard time seeing most 'victims' as victims. I said no to many advances in the same paragraphs as offers when I was young and naive and was made to feel I was throwing away some opportunity. Yes the pervs are there because of this advantage (not talent! just connections or money), but I also think most 'victims' know better and choose to sell out in the name of that starry reward in the sky.
Consent to be used is pretty pervasive too.
